The Hiru Eye Gaze App Guides provide a curated selection of eye-gaze-friendly iPad apps, each with tailored setting recommendations for different user profiles.
The Hiru Eye Gaze App Guides are designed to help users easily navigate eye-gaze-friendly apps on their iPad. These guides provide a curated list of apps, each with specific setting recommendations tailored to different user profiles. By adjusting key settings such as dwell time, snap-to-item, or using features like hold-and-drag, users can enhance their overall experience.
The guides include two main profiles—Early Stage (versions 1 and 2) and Independent Users—each with suggested default settings. Early-stage users focus on simple navigation and learning, while independent users are provided with more options and features to enable greater access and communication. The AssistiveTouch Menu and Hot Corners offer personalized controls to improve precision and ease of use, allowing each app to be customized based on user needs.
With clear instructions and default settings, the app guides provide a structured starting point, helping users personalize their experience further, and making eye-gaze technology more accessible and enjoyable.

Let’s look at an example. By making one simple change—selecting 'Hold and Drag' in the AssistiveTouch menu instead of the default 'Tap'—the experience in early-stage games can be transformed. This small adjustment unlocks a wider range of options and functionality that may not seem significant at first glance but greatly enhances gameplay.
In addition, combining this change with other tips like a short dwell time, disabling fallback to “lock” the certain action in place, and adding custom actions like "pause eye gaze" (for the communication partner to control) can make a huge difference. These settings provide more flexibility and control, significantly improving the overall eye gaze experience.
Every user has unique goals, and each app offers distinct features. With the app guide, you’ll confidently find the perfect match on the app wheel and be all set for success!
